standing Bonds.
To the Hon. County Court Of Jefferson County,
West Va:
We would respectfully report that we have
examined the account submitted by Mr..
Dan1 Amman, Agent for the Exchange OF the
Bonds OF the County, have compared the
same with the different calls made, gone over
the interest calculations all OF which we find
correct, with one exception. On the 18th OF
May, 1886, Mr.. Amman gives the Count y credit
for the proceeds OF $4,000 bonds with 40 days
interest. This, we think, should be 10 days,
making an error against the county of the in
terest on $4,000 for days, amounting to
$3.50. AS TO the printing bills and travelling
expenses, OF course we have no means OF eX-
amining them, but take it for granted that
they are correct. All OF which is submitted

CAPT. JACK DUNCAN.
Examination Closcd-Bound Over to
the May Term of the United States
Court

The examination of Capt. Jack
Duncan, charged with bribing j. c.
Corder, letter carrier, for information
which certain letter addressed to
Mrs. Bradley contained, was concluded
to-day in United States Commissioner
Burford's court.
The last witness was j. w. Renney.
who said that on Saturday in the lat.
ter part of November, 1886, he was
stamping letters in the postoflice when
Duncan called TO him to come to him.

Duncan said, there is letter in here |

Judge Burford held that the evil

New Railroad From Dallas TO San An
tonic.

There was a meeting yesterday af-
ternoon and also one last night held at
the merchants exchange in the inter-
est of a railroad from Dallas to San
Antonio, through Ellis, Hill, Bosque,
Coryell, Lampasas, Burnet, Blanco,
Genial and Bexar. A number of Dal-
las citizens met the following commit
tees: From Gatesville, r. NJ. Gardner,
E. A. Mcdowell, II. Potts and DR.. w.
+. Brown; Henry Exall represented
Lam pasas and A. r johnson, Burnct
The distance from Dallas to San An
tonic by this route is less than 250
mile, sixty mi es nearer than by any
other route.
The visiting committee represented
that Lampasas would give $35000,
Gatcsville $4,000 and Burnet $4,000.
In addition to the above amounts,
the right of way would be given and
also depot grounds.
The Committee said they were not
authorized to speak for counties be-
yond their own, but there were two
or three $4,000 bonuses lying around
to be gobbled up. The committee
calculated that they could depend on
the right of way, depot grounds and
$1,000 a mile the entire distance to be-
gin with.
The following Dallas committee was
appointed at the afternoon meeting:
r. V. Tompkins James Moroney and
S. ID. Blake, to meet the visiting COM
mittce at Blankcnship & Blake's store
last night.
AT an early hour last evening the
committees met, but outside of good
square railroad talk, nothing was
done, except. perhaps, to put in mo-
ton correspondence in order to
learn all the particulars. 1t is thought
the road will be built.

VOLAPuK.

This is not very euphonious name
of the new worlds language" it is
yet a stranger to most of the world,
but seems destined to have run,
whether of short or long continuance
is variously predicted. 1t is stated
books are in preparation for beginners,
which will be published in Chicago,
also by another party in Milwaukee.
Those who desire to acquaint them
selves with the new language will have
facilities for that object. A class, it is
said, is forming in Racine for the study
of Volapuk. AS to the advantages to be
gained by the introduction of the new
language, it is claimed there are many;
the rudiments are simple and easy of
comprehension, readily learned in all
countries; hence the great convenience
of universal language. No interpre-
ters in travelling through France, Ger
many, Italy or other countries will be
needed. We merely repeat what the
friends of the language say of it.

RANDALL.

We are enabled to authoritatively
state the following facts The state and
county taxes are $500 higher than they
were last year, but the town tax is 1925
lower, so the general tax on the whole
town is only $45 higher than last year.
The aggregate tax will be considerably
higher in the Fox River and Fleming
districts on account of higher school dis
trict taxes, a little lower in the McKesson
district, and considerably lower in the
remainder of the town.
